Details

For perfectly milled grains, ease of use and superior dependability, look no further than the Hullwrecker™ homebrewing grain mill. Our new two roller mill takes the guess work out of achieving the ideal crush for your home brewery. The Hullwrecker™ grain mill features a fully adjustable roller gap from 0.025” all the way to 0.1”, allowing you to finely tune the crush to your extract preference. Features included sealed bearings (not bushings!), a 7 Ib capacity grain hopper, an ergonomic crank handle, and unlike other available grain mills, the Hullwrecker™ comes complete with a custom designed metal base that fits perfectly on any standard 5 or 6.5 gallon plastic bucket.

I used the Hullwrecker for the first time this week to crush about 27 pounds of grain. It worked great!Assembly took about an hour, but instructions were good. I like the black plastic cover to the sharp top metal edge of the hopper.

I used to just buy my grain pre-milled. It's easy and the cost difference was negligable, certainly not enough to warrant spending over $100 on a mill. So, why did I?

I'm at a stage with my brewing where I am buying grain in bulk for brews that I won't make for 2 or 3 months and having it pre-milled would result in oxidation. I need to store it as a whole kernel so a mill was necessary. Then, I started reading about the benefits of conditioning the grain before milling to get a more coarse husk to aid in sparging and a mill became desirable.

I wanted something reasonable in price but could handle a decent grain bill fairly quickly. The reviews on the Hullwrecker were very good and the service from Midwest is exceptional so I picked up the unit during a sale event.

I'm very pleased with the unit. It is solid and does a great job. I started with the handle, which lasted all of 3 minutes, before removing it and connecting my cordless drill to the spindle. It does a great job very quickly.

I'm very happy with the purchase and would not go back to pre-milled grain.

I had a Barley Crusher for several years before the bushing started locking up. Changed to this brand, because it has ball bearings.

I had my barley crusher adapted to use with a motor. I was using a 10" sheave with a 1/2" input hole to drive the grain mill. The old mill had a 3/8" output shaft. I used a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter to drive the sheave. The new mill was a step bigger than 3/8". It was 25/64". I had to drill out my old adapter to use with this new mill. Other than that it has been great.

Also it had adjustments on both side of the roller. The Barely Crusher only had an adjustment for one side. (I never adjusted it so I don't know if you moved both sides.) With this new crusher, I bought filler gauges. Now I use the filler gauges to set the roller to the manufactured recommend setting for my Blichmann mash tun.

Well I did my first Allgrain batch, a smoked pumpkin Ale. Hull wrecker was set a .039/.035 area, over 3.5 lbs of Pumpkin in mash assisted by 8 oz. of rice hull. And guess what... no stuck sparge and mash targets where met. So the Hullwrecker has lived up to it's name, and did its job. Thank You.,

BEST ANSWER:Mine appears to be an aluminum alloy maybe? It's thick enough for home use. I pulled the handle off the end and put my drill on shaft and grind away. It's held up pretty well for me over the last year
